Senator Kingibe Accuses FCT Minister Wike of Worsening Abuja Floods
news
FCT Senator Ireti Kingibe has blamed the FCT Administration under Minister Nyesom Wike for worsening flooding in Abuja by allowing construction on green areas and flood channels.
FCT Senator Ireti Kingibe has publicly criticised the Federal Capital Territory Administration under Minister Nyesom Wike, accusing it of worsening Abuja’s flooding problem by permitting building on green areas and flood channels.
According to the senator, development approvals that allow structures on designated green spaces and drainage channels have reduced the city’s capacity to manage heavy rainfall, contributing to flooding in parts of the capital.
The claims are the senator’s own; the FCT Administration has not been reported to have formally responded to the specific allegations.
